Yeah, i think that answers the headline question. Burning people is bad.

- bawolff 3y agoWe don't usually have lightbulbs suspended mid-air at human height without some sort of protective case. I guess i assume the point here is to have no protective case since the article made such a big deal about touching the display.
- jjk166 3y agoThe overwhelming majority of lights are within human reach with no protective casing. There might be a lampshade to diffuse the light, and some frame to physically support the bulb, but nothing to stop a human hand from reaching in and touching it. Hell installing and replacing bulbs is typically done with bare hands. Free hanging bulb lights used to be quite common in closets and basements.
